Windows 10: The Next Chapter

I rate as long as they don't find a better model than 7 they should stick with what they have. There is little point in replacing something functional with something broken just for the sake of modem /new. Redesign... Sure just be sure it's an improvement.

Glad to hear it's a reversal... Haven't had time to check out 10 yet...

But then one has to ask the question why you would bother upgrading if there is no real change.

I would prefer the option of "stick with what you know" or "trying something really different" than "okay we've done it again...but it's mostly the same...pay us money for it".

I can't wait to see WP10, probably renamed to Windows Mobile. My phone is ready with the Phone Insider app installed. But MJF is saying it'll only be here in Feb.

A game changer would be support for Android Apps.

Then I'm there without question.
 
I'm looking forward to seeing what all the gaming fuss is about with Windows 10.

I wish they had actually just gone full Metro and dropped the desktop and stuck their guns with full screen applications.

Even if they got it completely wrong that would have been real progress

I genuinely hope tomorrow doesn't just show off what's been seen in the Preview because that's living in the past.

I can't believe it but I actually want Microsoft to be revolutionary for a change.

No, just no. That would kill Windows on desktops. The only reason I've enjoyed Windows 8 since the day it released is because of hiding the Metro UI, enabling a start button with normal start menu and booting straight to desktop.

The quality and scope of the Windows app store apps leaves a lot to be desired. And multitasking in the Metro UI doesn't come close to what the desktop can manage. I would rather run Linux than a version of Windows that doesn't have a desktop.

For an idea of what Microsoft could have done to improve the desktop experience, just browse the software offered by Stardock. MS should just buy them out and include all their stuff in Windows.

I don't see Android apps from Play store getting in there ... El Goog will surely block that.

I don't see why they wouldn't want their stuff on more platforms.

Blackberry has that deal going on, Microsoft could do it too and solve their software problems.

Well I don't have the perfect answer either but I just feel that if they had stuck to their guns it would have been working much more efficiently than we currently think it does. Half the reason we hate it now is because of the Disconnect between fullscreen Metro apps and jumping to "old" Apps all the time...there is no consistency.

What really makes the Desktop method so much better? How much of it could be resolved by having a "tray" of sorts in fullscreen and Alt-Tab buttons etc?

Speaking of Linux, Elementary OS gets away with basically not having a Desktop and that works very well.

The Appstore problem would be largely resolved with Android support.

There is no software problems on Windows Phone. Once WP signs on Android apps like BB, whose gonna bother to develop natively. It's been discussed before and nobody wants it.

Mmmm...I guess it will be cool if Android apps can run on Windows and Chrome OS.

However, Microsoft has done a lot of damage (thank you, Steve Ballmer) with the Scroogled campaign, and I doubt if Google will give them permission.

I don't meant software problems as in Apps being problematic.

I just mean a lack of catalogue and certain apps not being available.

Most of the major apps are available, people tend to argue there's no Gmail app or YouTube app buts that's the issue with Google not WP.

There's Tapatalk, Evernote, Twitter, Facebook, Uber etc.
 
Windows 7 , Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 will get a free update to Windows 10
